Diane came out of the bathroom after having a long relaxing soak in a bubble bath

DIANE: Wow.you've been busy.I've never seen this place look so clean.thank you

Kath smiled

KATH: Feeling better?

DIANE: Yep. Much

KATH: Good

DIANE: You sit down. I'll make us a cup of tea. You deserve it

KATH: Thanks

DIANE: Sorry about before

KATH: Oh no need to apologise

They both sat on the sofa sipping their hot cups of tea

DIANE: So.how have you been? I haven't seen you since you got back from Australia. How was it?

KATH: It was good.I needed it.I needed time to clear my head and work pout what I was going to do

DIANE: And?.did you make a decision?

KATH: Yep.Ed was fun. He made me laugh and feel like a schoolgirl again, but thinking about it I knew that it would have never gone anywhere.we're too different.and I know the age thing shouldn't have mattered.but.I know that eventually it would have.

DIANE: how did he take it?

KATH: Not too good

DIANE: Oh dear.and Nick, where does he stand?

Kath smiled

KATH: Nick Jordan is where my heart truly lies and I think he feels the same way.although we weren't together long before he left last time, I don't think either of us truly got over how much we felt, feel for each.it's been so good since I've been back form Australia. He really knows how to treat a woman.and I just feel so comfortable yet excited and happy when I'm with him.I haven't felt like this for ages.

Diane smiled

DIANE: Oh Kath I'm so happy for you. You deserve it.you really do

Kath arrived home and gasped at what she saw waiting for her. The lights were turned down low and a single candle was lit in the centre of the table. Nick had made dinner and was waiting with a single red rose for her. He took her jacket off and took her hand in his. She was amazed at what he had done for her.

NICK: Would you care to take a seat and join me for dinner?

Kath softly giggled as he led her to the table where red rose petals were spread across the white tablecloth. She sat down with a huge smile on her face, and her eyes sparkled from the candlelight. She couldn't believe what he had done. No one had ever done something like this for her. She felt special. Nick made her feel special, like no one else had ever done before.

They smiled and gazed into each others eyes as they ate. Nick got up and cleared away the desert plates into the kitchen. He came back and knelt down on one knee at Kaths side. He took her hand in his and took out a small box from his trouser pocket. It creaked as he opened it to reveal a sparkling diamond ring inside.

NICK: Katherine Ann Fox. will you marry me?
